                                         stakeholders to provide civil legal services;
                                         LCJC services are missed during times of disaster response.
                                         However, we have worked with civil legal aid providers to develop
                                         mechanisms to provide services formerly conducted by LCJC.
                                         Providers have shown no interest in relaunching LCJC and no funding
                                         seems to exist to do so.
